Being a makeup addict lover has its advantages, like when you are running out of time & you just have to step out of home, you develop quick fixes when it comes to your daily routine. Over the years, I have tried many such quick fixes and these are the ones I swear by:

Touching up lipstick when you plan to stay outdoors whole day isn’t really thing for many. As far as I am concerned I usually never touch up my lipsticks. A trick that works for me is applying a light layer of foundation on lips before applying lipstick. It acts as a base for lipstick and makes it last for really long. No touch ups required for long time.

At times when you mess your eye makeup, it is always better to use an Q-tip dipped in eye cream to clean up the mess. Using an eye cream ensures you are gentle with the delicate eye area.

Heat up your eylash curler using a blow dryer just for few seconds before curling your eyelashes. It will ensure that eyelashes stays curled for an entire day.

Dry Shampoo is not so readily available in India yet & this quick fix is best for girls who don’t have time to wash their hair every day. Just dab some baby powder or loose face powder on your hair brush and comb as usual. This will soak up excess oil & dirt from the roots, giving hair some volume & bounce.

My most favourite tip is to use a shimmery nude lip gloss as an highlighter on the highest points of cheek bones, bridge of the nose & cupid’s bow. An excellent cost effective way to get illuminated skin.

Use an old & washed mascara wand or even a toothbrush to comb and groom your eyebrows.

Ended up with clumpy Mascara? Use Vaseline or any petroleum jelly on your finger tip and gently massage it over the eyelashes, it will easily separate it as well as moisturize it at the same time.

Accidentally got mascara marks on your eyes? Wait up for a minute to allow the mascara dry up and then wipe it easily with a Q-tip or tissue paper without spoiling your eye makeup.

For silky soft lips, apply lip balm generously before hopping into the shower. Hot water & steam will do its bit while you are showering. When you are done bathing wipe your lips gently with a cloth for super soft lips.

Pop your creamy eyeliner into the fridge before application, this will help in avoiding breaking of the pencil while using it.
